prmatrix {base}

R Documentation

Print Matrices, Old-style

Description

An earlier method for printing matrices, provided for S compatibility.

Usage

prmatrix(x, rowlab =, collab =,
         quote = TRUE, right = FALSE, na.print = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	numeric or character matrix.
rowlab, collab	(optional) character vectors giving row or column names respectively. By default, these are taken from dimnames(x).
quote	logical; if TRUE and x is of mode "character", quotes (‘⁠"⁠’) are used.

right	if TRUE and x is of mode "character", the output columns are right-justified.
na.print	how NAs are printed. If this is non-null, its value is used to represent NA.
...	arguments for print methods.

Details

prmatrix is an earlier form of print.matrix, and is very similar to the S function of the same name.

Value

Invisibly returns its argument, x.

chm <- matrix(scan(system.file("help", "AnIndex", package = "splines"),
                   what = ""), , 2, byrow = TRUE)
chm  # uses print.matrix()
prmatrix(chm, collab = paste("Column", 1:3), right = TRUE, quote = FALSE)
